there was a thread bout this. try searching more

i think what poeple said is spray with windex, cover with black trashbag, let it sit in sun for x minutes, take off trashbag, use a blade to scrape off tint.

I just sliced the film with a razor blade and started peeling. I used goo gone to get the adhesive gunk off afterwards. Be warned, the tint smells gross.

Here are a couple that I found just by searching the word "tint."

Good luck. I just used 409 and a razorblade. I would get a few razorblades because it helps if they are sharp. Be sure not to dig into the window so you don't have scratches all over it. By the way, lay some cotton towels on your dash, etc so you don't mess them up. When you have the tint off don't try wiping away the glue with a towel, it doesn't work that well. I just sprayed the 409 directly on the window and scraped the glue off with the razorblade. Don't forget some dish gloves.

Well ...to remove the tint we used simple green and razorblade .....

first make a cut on the other most park of the window.....becareful do not cut the glass!!! this takes time!! After u have a fold begin tear it downward...try to tear in it in huge chucks so u don't have to use the razor blade that often....when pullin the tint down spray sum simple green on the part of window that does not have the tint anymore this helps remove the tint easier and faster!!! after the tint is off u gonna have spray simple green like a mad man!!! now u gotta remove the adhesive .......then just start cleaning........i noticed sum streaks...when i was done so i sprayed sum to help us out....this is the whole process pretty simple just take ur time.....

oh yeah simple green works great on cleaning engines!!!
